or irrationall ; irrationall are either thofe that live 
in the Air, or thofe that live in the Water, or 
thofe that live on the earth ; or els there are fome

partly in the waters. Imperfeft creatures we call 
thofe which are partly Plants , and partly Animals, 
as Sponge. So isSea^beares-breech , which is bred
